Getting more detailed

My daughter had posted a picture of the Eagle Creek Trail just below tunnel falls. I have hiked this area in my younger days and it brought back lots of good memories. So I decided to try to paint it. It took a couple tries but her is the completed painting. (A photo of a painting does not do justice. The colors are fall orange and not as bright as it seems in the picture) over all I am pretty pleased with this one.














I started going through pictures looking for scenes that called out to me. The next one is of Cape Kawanda at Pacific City Oregon. this is one of my favorite get away spots. the only thing missing from this painting is my daughter standing on the sand in the foreground. Maybe some day when I  am more skilled I will add her. I was really pleased with this painting. It was by far my favorite so far. In fact, goofy as it sounds, it brought a tear to my eye to think that I did this. I took paint and brushes and created depth and movement.  Feeling good.
